“Just I would say business,” Scott said of the current tone at UM. “It’s kind of like this locker room. Strictly business. Not free-for-all stuff, is pretty much how it is. When we were there it was free-for-all now it’s you either do this or we’ll put somebody else in.”

Scott wants to make clear he is an advocate of former Miami coach Al Golden.

“Golden was a father figure to us and he helped us a lot,” Scott said. “You could tell he helped everybody on and off the field.”

But he senses a new culture of unselfishness and accountability in the building.

“You can kind of just tell,” Scott said. “We played like we wanted to create highlight tapes when I was there. Now it’s all 11 people playing. Not just go deep every time.”

Scott said he was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, though he does not know if and when he will be activated to the 53-man roster.

“It feels like just yesterday that I was practicing,” Scott said. “I feel like it came around fast, but it was a long time. It felt great to be out there with the guys, get moving, have some fun. Get in little arguments, here and there. That’s what you miss, at the end of the day. That’s what you miss. Talking. Having fun.”

Scott, an undrafted free agent, was activated from Miami’s practice squad for two games at the end of last season, including an AFC Wildcard Game loss at Pittsburgh. At the time, Miami coaches said he had moved ahead of third-rounder Leonte Carroo because of impressive practices and value on special teams.

His locker mate in the Dolphins locker room is Malcolm Lewis, an undrafted rookie wide receiver who was his teammate at Miami for four years.

“It’s crazy,” Scott said of the coincidence. “It’s funny. It’s not normal. It’s good though. We try to help each other get going. Help each other. That’s all we know how to do, where we come from. So at the end of the day, just happy for each other. And keep motivating each other to get better.”
